You’ve heard terms like decolonization and anti-oppression, but how do they apply to your business? Can you honestly say you’ve done the work to ensure your business is doing no harm?
If you’re unsure where to start—or feel worried about getting it “wrong”—you’re not alone. Decolonization work isn’t about shame or perfection. It’s about love, liberation, and taking intentional steps toward building a more inclusive and just business.
That’s why I invited Silvana Espinoza Lau, a liberation and decolonization consultant, to join me on Deeply Rested!
Silvana helps coaches, therapists, and other service-based providers decolonize and liberate their businesses to make their services more welcoming and affirming for clients who hold marginalized identities.
In this episode, Silvana shares:
✔️ Her expansive and compassion-focused definition of decolonization
✔️ 3 resources you can use to begin decolonizing your business ASAP
✔️ Non-exploitative, consent-based strategies for attracting more diverse clients
✔️ How to privilege love, joy, and liberation in your decolonization work
If you’re ready to move beyond theory and start making real, tangible changes in your business—without fear or shame—I hope you’ll tune in.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
